Deciphering excess healthcare burden in head and neck cancer patients with cardiovascular comorbidity.

Background: This study aimed to determine the perioperative surgical outcomes for head and neck cancer patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed using data from the Nationwide Readmissions Database between 2010 and 2014. Logistic regression analysis by enter and backward stepwise methods were used.

Exparel for Postoperative Pain Management: a Comprehensive Review.

Purpose Of Review: Multimodal pain management is the most effective way to treat postsurgical pain. However, the use of opioids for acute pain management has unfortunately been a significant contributor to the current opioid epidemic. The use of opioids should be limited and only considered a "rescue" pain medication after other modalities of pain management have been utilized.
